Williams FW42 (She's a mover!)

Where does everyone expect the FW42 to be? Good enough to do what Sauber did last year? Progressively get better throughout the season?

2011-->2012 and 2013-->2014 were much bigger jumps towards the front of the grid than anyone had expected. Historically, Williams have a good record of big improvement after a horrible season.

You never know, though. F1 is not about your own job, but about how well you do compared to your opposition. Possible over and underperformance of other teams on the grid will have a significant bearing on where Williams will be this year and this is something that is very hard to predict.

New title partnership sounds very positive until I remember Williams probably sold it for peanuts again. Still, I choose to be optimistic!

Some money are better than no money.

Also, wasn't the talk that Williams wanted approx 5m USD more from Rich than what they had from Martini (so 20, instead of 15), but Rich got their deal with Haas for half the price. In addition, the BWT-deal for Force... Racing Point is also around 15m USD. It seems to be around there the price for title sponsorship of a mid-grid F1 team is.
